GT6 Easter Eggs and interesting finds

[RACECAR]

Yeah but it doesnt mean the steering wheel have to be Chevelle to right? Or is it IRL?

That's basically what he is saying.

 

[Hayden]

For some reason, El Camino's steering wheel is for Chevelle.

i looked it up and an online store sells this as a reproduction El Camino horn button...

I think this is another case of real world oddity being mixed up with a genuine in game Easter egg

 

[FoRiZon]

That's basically what he is saying.

Just because its chassis is from Chevelle doesnt mean the steering wheel is also.

Its like a Chevrolet-chassis Vauxhall has a Chevrolet logo on its steering wheel. You get the idea.

 

[RACECAR]

You don't understand: That's exactly how the Real El Camino's were sold. Its not a matter of "They don't have to be" or "They aren't", the point is they were sold exactly like that.

Not sure if everyone could classify this as an easter egg,
But the Xsara rally car has a rally event sticker about a 2009 Tokyo R246 Rally Event.

I haven't noticed that before, could it've been added recently or am I blind?

*Let the speculation of 1.12 containing more than one rally begin!*

Ive seen something like this before. If you take a rally car and go to a rally track or some city tracks then it'll have a sticker like that.

Hmm... Never drove a Xsara Rally Car on Tokyo R246...
Then again, its not premium.

I know of that (Premium-only thing). Thing is, you can see dirt in the upper right corner of that image, and the lighting makes me think it was taken at Gemasolar (which has just that kind of dirt on the side of the road)..

I seem to remember a GT5 E3 (?) (2009?) (edit: further research points to that being TGS 2009) demo with WRC cars on Tokyo (it's on the back of the GT5 cover as well), so it might just be PD making a reference to that.

Thats understandable i guess.
But why the Xsara of all the Rally Cars? for all i know they could have used the C4 WRC for the reference, or better yet, the Subaru WRC.

 

[rallymorten]

That's what I'm thinking as well. They may have wanted to "hide" it and figured nobody would pay full price for a FF when you can get the 90's A8 WRC for the same price, hence it would be sorta hidden-ish.. at least that's what I'm thinking.

Evidently, people have

The Xsara is around half the price of the other WRC cars from the same era (150,000cr).

here a screenshot from gt4.. (catalunya costa brava)

and this one is from gt5 the quality is bad but you can see the same sticker of tokyo

 

[MMX]

The Mitsubishi Pajero?, the hatchback, has a Grand Canyon sticker on. That track hasn't been around since GT4.

Seems like they wanted to include Grand Canyon in GT5, but were delaying it till "the next update"

That's because the standard models were taken from GT PSP (not GT4 like people think). Most rally cars in GT PSP had event stickers from tracks in GT and hence why it says 2009 (the game was released in 2009).

Or, PD just edited the sticker on a car that is from GT3. Not that hard really, look at the cars that no longer sport "24 Heures Du Mans".

No wonder the cars looked even worse than how i remembered them in GT4....

Long live not checking my facts

Now I'm just speculating again. After seeing this on the Xsara, I took a quick look at some of the other WRC cars, and I didn't find any other event-specific ones. Most of them had a regular sponsor, a Rallye Monte Carlo "parody" (either as in mirrored on the middle, missing something or blurry as..) or Gran Turismo..

So again, why is there a Rally Tokyo R246 2009 sticker on the Xsara, which just happens to be the only F2 kit car?

 

[rallymorten]

Sorry for double-posting, but I've found that the Mitsubishi CZ-3 Tarmac Rally Car has:

1: Grand Canyon sticker on the bonnet (and the plot thickens..)
2: Blurry driver names, one of which I've made out to be K. Ashizawa. Yep, another car, another developers' name.

Except from that, and quite a few parodies of the Rallye Monte Carlo one, there's nothing to report.

Edit: it turns out there is! The premium rally cars will actually have the same, higher texture quality, Rally Tokyo R246 2009 sticker if you use them on, surprise, Tokyo.

 

[MMX]

With all the rally sticker talk, I figured I'd get some photos to go along with it.

Premium rally car at Gemasolar.

Tokyo

Chamonix

Toscana

Eiger

Those were the only tracks I seen, that had a "custom" sticker. I checked several tracks.

Of course the standard cars keep their same sticker no matter what. Here's just a couple.

 

[FoRiZon]

Do you know that AI cars on Sierra Rally thats older than 2000 has its year as its racing number? ex. Ferrari Dino '76 has a number 76, etc.

Wow, i never noticed the textures are like that...
*scrolls down*
OH MY GOD THOSE CLOSE UPS LOOK HORRID


Back to topic, why does "Rallye Chamonix" have the year 2004 written on it?
And i never noticed that a Tokyo R246 "custom" rally sticker actually existed!

 

[rallymorten]

Chamonix

This is quite interesting as well. It's the same as the one used in GT4. It even still says "2004" on it.

There's your answer @silverman_GT

 

[Normalaatsra]

Maybe the next Time Rally location is the entire stretch of road 246. It goes all the way to Kanagawa.

 

[FoRiZon]

There are 2 wrongs in that pitcure:

1. Its a FT-1 VGT, so yo know.
2. It got a GT Arena Map..... At Gemasolar. Wonder if other Ft-1 got it too.

 

[TCSdisable]

This may be an easter egg.
Inside Ayrton Senna's helmet there's a guy with no eyes, every single racing suit or helmet in the game includes an avatar with eyes, this one not.

Of course the Stig doesn't have any face at all


Senna's ghost is somewhere inside the game

Really No eyes?

 

[Vitocorp]

Really No eyes?

[quoting a message]Damn you're right, after a lot of tries (the avatar keeps moving during the shots...) I've managed to take a picture of his eyes, less visible and that area is darker than the others.
I'm sorry guys, I was pretty excited but this 'mith' is busted...

Few posts later

 

[jontikis]

I think I found something interesting....

Give emphasis on the "WEC - 6 Hours of Fuji" sign, at the building behind the TS030.
